Main duties of the job

We are a successful, innovative and forward-thinking department, with patient care at the centre of our decision-making. Our Trust gives medicines management and medicines optimisation high priority. We have invested in a purpose-built, state of the art, aseptic unit. The pharmacy department has been successful in outsourcing outpatient dispensing, implementing electronic medicines management for all inpatient wards and rolled out electronic prescribing in our haematology and oncology service. Our department is also in the country to have worked with external stakeholders to develop community infusion clinics.
